WHERE WARMTH AND FURY GO, by JOSEPH JOEL KEITH Poet's Biography First Line: This is not a love I keep Last Line: If it be bloom, if it be dust. | |||
This is not a love I keep: a love that lives beyond a year. And even when I see one weep I think, that's not for me -- that tear. This is not a place I know: a home, whatever a home might be. Where warmth and fury go, I go. There's little I want that I can see. There's little I seek that I can find walking the road of flame and rust, but I am a slave of a loftier mind, for seek I will, and seek I must, if it be bloom, if it be dust. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HE TAKES HER HAND by JOSEPH JOEL KEITH ECHO AND SILENCE by SAMUEL EGERTON BRYDGES THE GOOD GREAT MAN by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE THE WHITE COMRADE (AFTER W.H.
